Miriam Lieberman Trio

Singer/Songwriter, World music, Contemporary Folk

This Aria nominated trio seamlessly blend African influences with indie folk infused melodies. The songs are a collection of stories beautifully told through strings, powerful lyrics and Miriam’s unmistakable voice. Playing kora (African harp) as well as acoustic guitar, Miriam is joined by exceptional string players violinist Lara Goodridge and cellist Kate Adams. The Trio have performed at Woodford Folk Festival 2015/2016, The National Folk Festival and many others. (Miriam) has a knack for giving her songs a feeling of significance, even while they float with effervescent pop pleasure. Wikipedia’s explanation of world music includes a cited description as someone else’s local music. In Lieberman’s case, it’s ours. THE AGE- OCTOBER 2014
